Mix all-purpose flour and boiling water in a bowl until a shaggy dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 5-10 minutes.

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each into a thin circle.

Brush the surface of each circle with vegetable oil and sprinkle with salt and white pepper.

Scatter chopped scallions evenly over the surface of the dough.

Roll the dough tightly into a log, then coil it into a spiral shape.

Flatten the spiral gently with your palm, then roll it out into a thin pancake.

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Cook the pancake until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels before serving.
